3 Months Post Tummy Tuck: Now 5 Weeks Pregnant - is There Any Risk Involved?

I agree with previous posts:  there is no reason to terminate your pregnancy following a tummy tuck. 

I know of no risk to you or the child by carrying your pregnancy to term following a tummy tuck.  While your cosmetic result may be compromised by this pregnancy, and you may desire a revision after the birth of your child, there is no reason to terminate your pregnancy.

Additionally, I recommend that you wait at least 9-12 months following the birth of your child before considering a revision tummy tuck.  This will allow your uterus and skin to contract as much as possible, ensuring the best results possible post tummy tuck revision.

The only risks associated with your unexpected pregnancy are with the medications you took (e.g. painkillers), if you took them for a longer period of time after your surgery, and this time overlapped with the time you were pregnant. I would recommend you talk to your surgeon as your OBGYN suggested. 

Your prior tummy tuck should not affect your pregnancy and not pose significant additional risks. In other words this should not be a reason to terminate a desired pregnancy.
